§ 40. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the First Commissioner of Works whether the reconstruction at Whitehall will involve provision for an increased number of civil servants; and for how many persons accommodation will be provided?
§ Mr. LANSBURYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. In regard to the second part, I anticipate that it will be possible to provide accommodation in the new building for approximately 7,500 persons.
§ Captain EDENIs it still intended to proceed with this heavy expenditure?
§ Mr. LANSBURYI think you had better wait and see.
